Thinking about Karen McDougal
As I look back on a love so sweet now I cry like a baby Every road is a lonely street I cry like a baby I know now that you're not a play thing Not a toy or a puppet on a string
Today we passed on the street And you just walked on by My heart just fell to my feet And once again I began to cry
CRY LIKE A BABY

Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

People once believed that, when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor Tomorrow for old England she sails Far away from your land of endless sunshine To my land full of rainy skies and gales And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow Though, my heart is full of tears at this farewell

The reason I moved to California the first time was to build the Cobra. I thought it was stupid to have a 1918 taxicab engine in what Europeans like to call a performance car when a little American V-8 could do the job better.

3. New England Patriots: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
The Patriots got a dynamite prospect in Maye. He did a ton of heavy lifting for the Tar Heels last season and he has legitimate superstar upside. He's just 21 years old and has already shown flashes of elite downfield, tight-window accuracy to go along with fantastic running ability for a bigger quarterback. Home run pick for the Patriots as they officially start a new era for the franchise. Grade: A

In May of 1941
In the dark predawn hours of May 19, 1941, the colossal Bismarck, a battleship of unrivaled might, slipped into the Baltic Sea, commencing her voyage. The German navy had not produced such a gargantuan vessel since the First World War. Its task was monumental, to disrupt the lifeline between the United States and Great Britain by severing the flow of supplies across the Atlantic. The German high command believed the Bismarck, deemed "unsinkable," would force Britain into capitulation.
By the fateful morning of May 24, the Royal Navy's HMS Hood, a revered symbol of British naval power, and the newly commissioned HMS Prince of Wales had engaged the Bismarck in the Denmark Strait. The confrontation was marked by the thunderous exchange of gunfire, culminating in a catastrophic blow to the Hood. A single shell from the Bismarck penetrated Hood's ammunition magazine, igniting an explosion that cleaved the ship in two, plunging it into the depths and snuffing out over 1,400 British lives in moments. It was the Royal Navy's gravest single-ship loss in history.
The British, incensed by the loss of the Hood and eager to avenge their brethren, unleashed a relentless pursuit of the Bismarck. With damage from the clash taking its toll on the German leviathan, Admiral Gunther Lutjens veered towards occupied France, seeking refuge. However, on May 26, the Bismarck's fate veered into dire straits as British Fairey Swordfish biplanes, in an astonishing display of aerial might, launched torpedoes that crippled its steering gear.
The subsequent British naval offensive was a calculated and overpowering response. On the morning of May 27, the King George V, HMS Rodney, and other vessels of the Royal Navy unleashed a torrent of fire upon the German titan. The Bismarck, a behemoth unable to navigate or flee, endured a relentless barrage. Ultimately, the HMS Dorsetshire's torpedoes delivered the final blows, sending the once-feared Bismarck to its watery grave at approximately 10:40 a.m.
